I actually went for the job interview here 3 days ago. I got hired on on the spot and this girl seemed wayyyy too well rehearsed and that's what threw me.. I just didn't show up for the UNPAID training.

ummm...your supposed to get paid to learn. even if its a training shift

shoulda went to college

I actually made about 6 grand over the course of the summer selling those knives. Worked my ass off though and my school ended up deciding that since I had 6000 more then I was supposed to they would just take it. It is pretty much designed as something of a scam though, the managers rely on high turnover since they make the most profit in the first couple weeks of a persons employment. You start of making 10% of what you sell and they get 40%. After you sell a certain amount you get 50% and they get very little. They also kind of make you take advantage of your friends and family, but everyone that I sold to still loves their knives, so it's not like you're ripping them off. Anyway, if anything the $145 isn't the scam, you can make that back in a week. The scam would be the part where your friends and family guiltily buy from you.

Most of the people that do this are college kids who need a summer job.

Thats not how it works. Dont be a liar and make Vector look bad.

I got the same letter for Vector, and in regards to all of the people here who said "LOL DO YOUR RESEARCH" I did do my research, but that doesn't mean I only looked at the websites that said it was a scam. I looked at both sides, and I decided to give it a shot. Not only did I make back the $145 in the first two days, I made a very decent income for the rest of the summer. If you're willing to put in some effort, you can come out with a nice amount of cash, but it's certainly not something you can half-ass and expect to be good at. Plus, I actually used the starter kit they had us buy. They ARE high quality knives, you're not getting nothing for the money.

OMG I had the same thing happen, it was cutco right?? I spent 2 days in training and then couldn't afford the knives, so glad that I couldn't

These comments are ******* hilarious. Half are from people that say they lost money to a scam, and the other people are saying what a great scam it is and how much money they made.

i don't see how it's a scam. i work for vector, and have for about two years. i've made a lotttttt of money. someone must have faked it then i guess. vector isnt a scam though lol it's legit.
